What Are Standardized 
Ingredients? 
T HE standardizing process, through which 
every Larro ingredient must pass, works 
just like the hour-glass. 
To say, for instance, that Larro bran is standard¬ 
ized means that scores of carloads of highest 
grade bran, with all their variations, have been 
combined into one unchanging blend of bran 
that is just right in every way—in color, texture, 
analysis and feeding value. 
The standardizing process does what Nature and 
the people who produce feeding stuffs cannot do 
— it keeps each Larro ingredient exactly the 
same — it takes out the variations of color, tex¬ 
ture, analysis and feeding value that they allow 
to creep in. 
That’s why Larro not only looks the same, but 
is the same, year in and year out. 
Larro makes cows do their best all the time— 
they don’t go off feed—they make you a bigger 
profit whether milk is up or down. Let Larro 
end your feeding problems now. It’s the same 
milk-making, profit-making ration all the year 
round. Safe, uniform, healthful, profitable.

How to Check Cow 
Ailments at their Source 
The dairy cow is an exceptionally hardy 
animal and subject to very few ailments 
except those which attack the digestive and 
genital organs. These particular organs, 
being the milk-making function, are often 
overworked and unable to throw off such 
diseases as Barrenness, Abortion, Retained 
Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, 
Lost Appetite.

ROOK 
These ailments can be successfully treated 
_and just as surely prevented—by the use 
of Kow-Kare, because it is especially de¬ 
signed to tone up and strengthen the di¬ 
gestive and genital organs. A proper func¬ 
tioning of these important organs eliminates 
the cause of disease. 
But the real profit of dairying today is 
made by keeping disease out while the milk¬ 
making organs are working at top-notch. 
Kow-Kare, in moderate quantity in the ra¬ 
tion one week out of each month, induces 
a maximum milk flow and keeps the cow'® 
disease-resistance up to par. In thousands 
of dairies Kow-Kare is now as much a part 
of the feeding routine as grains or silage. 
Its use costs, on the average, not more than 
a cent a day per cow. 
Kow-Kare is sold by general stores, feed 
dealers and druggists—large size $1.25 ; me¬ 
dium size 65c. If dealer is not supplied,

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Swollen Glands 
I have a Jersey-Holstein calf two weeks 
old. When about 10 days old it had two 
bunches come one on each side of lower 
jaw. The one on right side is larger 
with rash or pimples on inside. Calf ap¬ 
pears well and eats. N. e. k. 
New York. 
There are lymphatic glands under the 
tongue and between the jaw blades and 
in addition there is a large salivary gland 
under each ear with a large duct 
(Steno’s) running around the lower edge 
of the jaw, on each side, and carrying 
saliva into the mouth opposite the upper 
molar or grinding teeth. The thyroid 
gland of the throat is at the throat-latch 
and when enlarged constitutes goiter. It 
is evident from your description that the 
lymphatic glands are enlarged or swollen 
and that is quite usual when any infec¬ 
tion of the mucous membranes of the 
mouth occurs. The pimples in the mouth 
indicate such infection and we fear it is 
evidence of the serious germ-caused in¬ 
fectious disease known as necrotic sto¬ 
matitis or “calf diphtheria.” That may 
be caused by filth germs (Bacillus necro- 
phorus) being carried into the mouth by 
dirty utensils from which milk is fed or 
feed supplied. 
To avoid the disease the milk utensils 
should be scrupulously cleansed, scalded 
and sun-dried each time before use and 
the calf should be stabled in a clean, light, 
sunny, well bedded box stall and in fine 
weather also allowed to run out in the 
sun for a time, as direct sunlight is ab¬ 
solutely necessary to the health and de¬ 
velopment of all young animals, as well as 
children. 
If you have a number of calves move 
the unaffected ones into a new, sanitary 
pen, then cleanse and disinfect the old 
pen and put in new, clean bedding. As 
a disinfectant use a mixture of one part 
or compound cresol solution and 30 parts 
of water, or one part of coal tar disin¬ 
fectant and 20 parts of water; also add 
one pound of fresh chloride of lime to 
each three gallons of limewash sprayed 
upon the walls and flooded on the floor. 
Treat the affected calf by swabbing all 
sores or ulcers with tincture of iodine, 
after scraping them clean. Afterward 
swab or spray them two or three times 
daily with a one per cent solution of 
permanganate of potash or one per cent 
solution of hypochlorite of soda. Rub a 
mixture of one ounce each of pure tur¬ 
pentine and aqua ammonia, four ounces 
of compound soap liniment and soft water 
to make one pint, twice daily upon the 
swollen throat, or jaw, from ear to ear. 
If the liniment blisters slightly reduce it 
by adding soft water. It may be that 
the calf has a milder disease, termed 
simple aphtha, in which there are little 
blisters or pimples but no ulcers. If so 
it will suffice to swab the mouth several 
times daily with a solution of one table¬ 
spoonful each of alum and borax per 
quart of soft water. 
Summer Itch of Horse 
My mare when working last Summer 
had eruption all over the body causing 
her to be very irritable. When cool 
months came on she seemed better. Now 
there is scurf on the body and hair 
comes out in spots. What must I do? 
New York. N. b. 
You have described a form of eczema 
called “Summer itch” or “Texas itch” or 
“Spanish itch.” We do not know the 
significance of the latter names unless it 
be that the disease is particularly preva¬ 
lent in the Southwestern States. From 
long observation of the ailment we have 
come to the conclusion that it is often as¬ 
sociated with shedding of the hair and 
then with change of feed from Winter 
rations to Summer feed. Sudden grazing 
of green grass is enough to bring it on in 
a susceptible horse. So is the substitu¬ 
tion of new hay or new oats for old hay 
or grain. One attack subjects the horse 
or mule to another the following season, 
so that precautionary measures have to 
be taken. Mules and jacks suffer from a 
more aggravated disease of like sort. It 
causes “jack sores” and they persist un¬ 
til cold weather arrives. So-called “Sum¬ 
mer sores” appearing on the legs and sur-
